L. Moody and B. Adoue, started
for New York this evening to negotiate
for placing the stock and bonds of
the Airline road. Two million dollars
worth of stock out of the 100000 re-
quired to build the road has also been
subscribed by the solid business men of
Galveston, and with this startit is thought
that Messrs. Runge, Moody & Adoue
will encounter but little difficulty in
placing the balance of the stock. All
indications at present point to the break
ing of ground for the Air Line by the first
day of September. The men back of
the new line are endowed with equally
as much enterprise, ability and capital as
the projectors and builders of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe line enjoyed when
they undertook their great task ten years
ago.

Morrison on Railroad Legislation.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 14.-Commissioner
Morrison of the interstate commerce
commission is in the city and will leave
for Washington to-day. In an interview
referring to the investigations of the COM
mission during its extended southern trip
he said that the testimony of railroad
officials was unanimous to the effect that
the enforcement of the long and short
haul section would be ruinous to the
interests of the south. Whether the sus-
pension will be made permanent or not
will not be decided until the full board
meets at Washington next week. Mr..
Morrison does not think there is any
growing sentiment favoring the repeal of
the law, and believes that governmental
supervision of railroad transportation
has come to stay.
